Carol Handley of KWJZ Seattle - Behind the Mic For March
March 1, 2004 - A long time before we heard the Wave in Los Angeles, KKSF in San Francisco and WNUA in Chicago other Smooth Jazz pioneers were laying the groundwork for the format all over North America. Though not called Smooth Jazz in the early eighties Carol Handley was well versed in an earlier version of the format playing the artist that shaped it's sound. Handley introduced David Sanborn, Bob James, Earl Klugh, George Benson and Larry Carlton to many Seattle radio listeners back then and she's still doing it today. Handley is currently the Program Director and Mid Morning host at KWJZ in Seattle and she is our "Behind the Mic" subject this month. Read our interview.
